From NY Times and International Bestselling author Geoffrey Jenkins comes an adventure novel that takes readers into the heart of a terrorist organization that plan on using a newly discovered silver artifact to strike a blow against the Great Britain and South African governments. For fans of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventure novels.
Zara Hennessy, leader of a Cape Town terrorist group called Rote Zora, is conducting a vendetta against the reinstatement of the Simonstown naval agreement between South Africa and Great Britain.
When a silver Admiralty oar is found aboard the wreck of the Civil War Confederate raiding ship Alabama, sunk in 1864 off the coast of France, ex-SAS officer Rayner Watton and antiquity expert Fenella Gault discover it is the double of one used in Cape Town's Admiralty Court a hundred years earlier.
It is decided to exchange the two oars at the Simonstown naval ceremony as a symbol of friendship between Great Britain and South Africa. But Zara has other plans...one very personal and one calling for massive carnage and death.
